Sunbathing tourists gather on the beautiful and narrow beaches. On the way to Suluban Beach, you have to bend over a steep staircase and a rocky gap. And this is only the first step. After coming down, it must go into a hole before it can reach the beach. In Indonesian, Suluban means “bending over and falling down,” and its meaning is self-evident. What attracts the surfers most is the long and powerful surge here and the continuous rolling waves. Sitting in the viewing room above the cliff top, you can enjoy exciting surfing activities and more extensive views.

The beach is located on the southwest side of the Buco Peninsula, although it is not as big as Uluwatu, but there are dangerous reefs here. The rolling waves at Binh Thuan Beach are very similar to those of Uluwatu’s sister surf, but there is no Uluwatu’s long wave. Therefore, it is not easy to find the perfect surfing moment here. Tidal waves have a huge impact on surfing, and you must have a map of tides that you can view at any time, or ask local surfers who are familiar with it.
